The Mission of the Columbiana County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental
Disabilities
is to
collaborate with the community to maintain a predictable support system for families, caregivers
and individuals with disabilities to help them pursue and achieve what is important to them.
Philosophy
The Columbiana County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities offers
an
integrated continuum of education, training and family support services to eligible persons
with
mental retardation and/or developmental disabilities, for the entire span of life.
The purpose of this agency's services is to enhance the development of each individual so that
he or she may take his or her rightful place in society. Programs provided by this agency are
individualized to the needs of its consumers, in order to support meaningful integration into the
community. Agency services are designed to promote and ensure individual equality in all
aspects
of community life, with constant emphasis on a person's ability instead of their disability.
